Stalactites and Stalagmites galore!! |
The other six New7Wonders of Nature, "based on provisional results", were:
South America's Amazon River

Vietnam's Ha long Bay,

| Literally means "descending dragon bay" |
Argentina's Iguazu Falls

South Korea's Jeju Island

It said that the list released was "in alphabetical order" and not in any position of ranking.
The official New 7 Wonders of Nature will be announced early 2012 said philstar.com
Hopefully, before the world ends, I can visit all these wonderful places with my hubby and 3 kids. That would totally be "A trip to remember"
